描述（由申请人提供）：国家跨学科合作中心为非裔美国人的健康（NTCC），由明尼苏达大学（UMN）与伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学（UAB）的合作伙伴关系，旨在解决，通过区域的方法，在全国范围内影响非裔美国人的健康差异的条件。该计划将针对非裔美国人在整个生命过程中无意和暴力相关伤害和慢性疾病的差异。拟议的NTCC建立在现有国家联盟的框架上-加强少数民族参与临床试验（EMPaCT）-并将利用五大EMPaCT中心的现有基础设施：UMN（中西部），UAB约翰霍普金斯大学（东），医学博士安德森癌症中心（西南），和加州大学戴维斯分校（西）。目标是制定，实施和评估干预措施，将通过研究，推广和培训改善非洲裔美国人的健康。这一目标将通过与我们的国家支持者，美国全国浸信会基金会，公司的广泛伙伴关系和重要合作来实现。美国国家橄榄球联盟（National Football League）和100 Black Men of America，Inc.为了实现我们的目标，我们将实现以下具体目标：目标1。开展为期一年的规划和评估阶段。目标二。制定，实施和评估非裔美国人不同健康结果核心领域的合作研究计划：意外和暴力相关伤害，心血管疾病，癌症和中风;目标3。建立四个核心（行政，合作和伙伴关系，研究和干预措施的实施/传播），以支持拟议的和未来的研究活动;目标4。与国家社区合作伙伴以及EMPaCT联合会成员合作，制定、实施和评估试点项目方案;目标5。传播研究成果，并通过使用传统媒体和社交媒体的综合方法促进研究吸收，以吸引各级利益攸关方的参与。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The National Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for African American Men's Health (NTCC), proposed by the University of Minnesota (UMN) in partnership with the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), seeks to address, through a regional approach, health disparities in conditions affecting African American men on a national scope. The program will target disparities in unintentional and violence-related injuries and chronic diseases in African American men across the life course of this population. The proposed NTCC is built upon the framework of an existing national consortium - the Enhancing Minority Participation in Clinical Trials (EMPaCT) - and will utilize the established infrastructure of the five major EMPaCT centers: UMN (Midwest), UAB (Southeast), Johns Hopkins University (East), MD Anderson Cancer Center (Southwest), and the University of California, Davis (West).The goal is to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that will improve African American men's health through research, outreach, and training. This goal will be pursued through the broad partnership and significant collaboration with our national supporters, the National Baptist Convention Foundation USA, Inc. , the National Football League , and 100 Black Men of America, Inc. To achieve our goal, we will implement the following specific aims: Aim 1. Conduct a one-year planning and assessment phase. Aim 2. Develop, implement, and evaluate a collaborative research program in the core areas of differential health outcomes for African American men: unintentional and violence -related injuries, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and stroke; Aim 3. Establish four cores (Administrative, Collaborations and Partnerships, Research, and Intervention Implementation/Diffusion) to support the proposed and future research activities; Aim 4. Develop, implement, and evaluate a Pilot Project Program in collaboration with national community-based partners and in conjunction with EMPaCT Consortium members;Aim 5. Disseminate research results and promote research uptake through an integrated approach that uses both traditional and social media in order to engage stakeholders at all levels.
